Lime Butterfly

The thirty eight butterfly from my garden is the Lime Butterfly ( Papilio demoleus ), this is a very common Indian butterfly.

It visits our garden at noon, and seems to enjoy good sunshine. They love to mud puddle, and I had blogged about them many years ago, when I spotted them in Bangalore mud puddling.
Like their name suggests, they lay their eggs of citrus plants and are known to migrate. Since the butterfly visits us only during sunny days, there was more than adequate light available to photograph them- evident from the washed out flowers and leaves in the above photograph.

About Me

I am a person who loves to learn. I enjoy a balance in life, sometimes being a people’s person while at other times, a loner. I need my personal space, where I can just revel in the beauty and bounty of nature. Photography is my passion, especially wildlife photography. It rejuvenates me and is a means to my self-expression. I love reading on different subjects and enjoy traveling. I wish to cover the entire subcontinent, documenting and sharing the wonders that India has to offer.
